"Second opportunity" Dress. Mood of colors.

I was always a woman of colors. I can understand perfectly well that there are people who like to wear black, even I know women who have theri wardrobe fully in black and a touch of color without shrillness... this isn´t my case...

I will not deny that there are black clothes in my wardrobe, but these were intended primarily to serve as "support" to others with striking color to combine and serve as a balance between both colors.

Although I learned to sew almost as peeked my first baby teeth, life long crossed on my way diverting my attention on other things a priority. Sewing was always that gnawing that worm and distracted me when I was a student, then... family and children occupied all my time for many years.. and sewing became unthinkable in around the clock.

But the goblin was there, lurking... now I have the happiness of older children , a job that takes a few hours in the morning and all my free time to fill my closet of all those clothes that previously only despair produced by unattainable for me.

Lovely Dress Rosie, funny that you are talking about color as I have been trying to set up my new sewing space I decided to organize my fabric stash and was sorting by color and realized that my red and blue pile are tied for largest in my stash. By the way I love your shoes!!!

This dress looks wonderful on you!I agree with you - colour is such an important element in the world. My wardrobe - not so much. I love my neutrals! (especially brown) But every so often I do need a "shot" of colour, and then I do something crazy, like sew a red skirt.

I love colour too! The monochrome section of my wardrobe is much smaller than the rest. And yes, I organise my dresses by colour as well as my fabric stash. Black, grey and white are accents for me too. And I tend to stay away from brown and cream. Favourites for me to wear are green and yellow and blue..Everything really! But some things clash with my bright red hair :-D

Fantastic post.First and foremost your gorgeous red dress in action, then the beautiful scenary plus what you say about colours. I love colors too even if I wearing black or white.I am gald you have time to enjoy your passion for sewing.

I love colour too and never really understood all over black.I have always wondered since I was a little girl if blind people dream in colour or black and white???My father in law is colour blind and I think it is a real shame. How sad to not see the green grass against a blue sky.Your dress is va va voom by the way, I love it with your red lips and earrings too.

Thank you for these pictures:-) You have another perfect dress - it fits you very well - red is your color. and the back looks now also much better, than in burda (maybe the dress in burda was one size to big for the model?).

Rosy, you look like old Hollywood when it was still glamorous. You have such a regal bearing and look so marvelous in everything you wear. You are such a fantastic seamstress. Lovely, lovely red dress.

I really like this dress and it looks wonderful on you! I agree with what you say about colour. I sometimes wonder if I should try black, brown and grey when I buy new fabric or clothes, but cheerful colours always win in the end! Recently I bought fabric in a similar shade to yours and hope to make a dress out of it.
